I like the design of those, it looks similar to the C8000 but
"compressed". :-)
If you pop the panels off
and remove the foot it is rack mountable. So your theory is absolutely
correct.
I also worked with someone back in the day on IRC and we determined
that the expansion cage in a rx2620 was cross compatible with the rx2600.
Yeah, I think the rp3440/rp3410 (likely exact same case and likely same
system board as the rx2600) could even be transformed into an rx2600
with a firmware upgrade, plus the Itaniums of course.
Same for rp4440 and rx4640 I think. But I never found out if that would
also work in reverse.
Back then the Integrities had more in common with HPs older designs
(like rp2470) than with the ProLiants taken over from Compaq. That
changed somewhat later with rx2660 and others and not only on the outside.
